0xicl33n Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Curious as to how the usb ports work. The setup for android uses the Y cable to power the device via the usb MALE and then tether to android from microusb to the usb FEMALE on the nano. Lets say i have something small like a beaglebone or raspi, could i power it through the MALE and then tether via the FEMALE slot on the nano? The beaglebone/raspi would not have enough power from its usb port to give the nano the power it requires - thats why im asking Of course i would really be running the wp6.sh under kali, just with the single usb female port - unlike the computer tethering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Hi, You would need to use the male port connected to the pi. This is one of the reasons why we provide the usb-y cable, so you can plug it into the pi/bbb, and power it at the same time. Best regards, Sebkinne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I tried to position all of the cabling in this photo so it would make sense. Essentially the second Male A connector coming off the NANO USB cable is for additional power. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
